Ubiquity fosters critical analysis and in-depth commentary on issues relating to the nature, constitution, structure, science, engineering, cognition, technology, practices and paradigms of the computing profession. Ubiquity helps us see what we do not see. Ubiquity seeks novel perspectives on what is going on in the core of our field. Ubiquity looks also to the edges of our field and beyond, seek
ing the perspectives of those in other fields who are impacted by computing. "Ubiquity" comes from the Latin word for "everywhere"—and stands in contrast to "Utopia," another word coined from the Latin (by St. Thomas More) meaning "nowhere." Unlike utopian pie-in-the-sky visions, Ubiquity tries to stay focused ambitiously on The-Future-Already-Happening. This is the future coming to life right before our eyes, in an information-rich world where computing is embedded everywhere—along with its embedded tensions.
